The Soroptimist Live Your Dream: Education & Training Awards for Women program has been helping women around the world since 1972. This program provides cash grants up to $5000 to women who are working to better their lives through additional schooling and skills training.

Who is Soroptimist International? Soroptimist was formed in 1921 in Oakland, California, at a time when women were not permitted to join service organizations. Our name, loosely translated from the Latin, means best for women. Today, we have over 25,000 members and supporters in countries across North America, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. We are one of five federations that make up Soroptimist International, which has clubs in more than 120 countries throughout the world.

How can I apply for this grant? If you are attending an undergraduate degree program or vocational skills training program, you are eligible to apply. If you are a woman with primary financial responsibility for yourself and your dependents, or a woman who has financial need, you are eligible to apply.

The deadline to apply is November 15, 2025.
